In recent years, controversy has surrounded dress code laws and the sexist undertones, according to CNN. Kenosha School District in Wisconsin came under fire during the 2017-2018 school year because of a ban on girls wearing yoga pants. This regulation was supposed to be removed, however parents reported that their children were still punished for having leggings on. “Leggings are convenient for when I get ready in the morning,” senior Violet Estrada said. “Instead of being late to school because I’m picking out clothes I can just wear my comfortable leggins.” “Leggings do not sexualize girls’ bodies.” senior Deigo Kielty said. “They do not reveal that much of their skin.” The Wisconsin high school teachers stand strong with their students, noting that every girl reported for dress code violations is time taken away from class.
